Microsoft includes additional environments at different tiers based on the number of user licenses.

There are capabilities to copy configurations from one environment to another enabling classical developmental methodologies. Myth 3: Data is not se...

There are 2 ways you can do a migration from Microsoft CRM 4.0 to Microsoft CRM 2011 on-premise: an in-place migration where you upgrade the existing CRM 4.0 install to CRM 2011 using the very same server(s) OR an upgrade where you migrate to a new CRM 2011 server(s). Here is a step by step guide to migrating using this 2nd approach (where you have new server(s) that will host CRM 2011): 1. Perform a fresh install of Microsoft CRM 2011 on a new server(s). You can have 1 server that hosts both the web application and the SQL databases or you can have 2 servers: 1 to host the web application and 1 to host the SQL databases. 2. Make a backup using SQL Server Management Studio of your existing CRM 4.0 sql organization database (it will have a name like OrganizationName_MSCRM). 3. Physically copy the backup from step 2 to your new server that will be hosting the SQL Server 2008 databases behind your CRM 2011 install. 4. Create a new sql server databa...

Incompatibility in IE 10. (a) Run IE9/IE8 (works always ). (b) Try to run IE10 in backwards compatibility mode (works often). (c) Wait for an update for CRM/IE10 (works slowly and seldom). As a side note, I can tell that when I was having that issue, I noticed that by using a remote desktop to our development environment (or at least a virtual machine, e.g. VirtualBox, wouldn't you have access to an external environment), one could omit the whole issue sans having to degrade to an earlier version of IE.
